    I have to say that am shocked at just how bad the new music is. This cannot be the same band that produced great albums such as HTDAAB and ATYCLB! This is awful! They either do not care anymore, or have completely lost it. I never thought U2 would become irrelevant, but they have officially become one of those bands that you will now say, “Remember when they were great?”

    Total drivel, Mr Harris. The new album is great, far better than the safe, cynical HTDAAB and ATYCLB. U2 have become inventive again, like they were in the 1990s. thank goodness!

    Agree, Dan. The new album is the best since Actung Baby. Magnificent is an anthem in the waiting, Breathe is unbelievable, and Stand Up Comedy is absolutely outstanding----- to name just three! Loving the new sound, pure class as usual.

    Totally agree with you guys. This album is unbelievable. Breathe is definitely a great song, same with Moment of Surrender. I bet their upcoming tour will be amazing. If you haven’t bought the CD yet, you should. I bought mine on Amozon.com for $3.99. I couldn’t believe it.

    At 7:49 a.m. local time on Wednesday, April 14th, a huge earthquake struck Yushu County in Qinghai, China, described as “end of the earth” in a famous poem of the Tang Dynasty.
    The earthquake destroyed many houses, cut off power and caused over 2,000 deaths and injuries. On the night when the earthquake happened, many survivors had to sit or lie on the ground in terrible darkness. Some brought their own tents and others turned on the lights of motorcycles. It seemed that the earth was at an end. But their natural character made them get together to fight the early spring’s cold nights. Facing the disaster, they chose to be stronger and standing still and firmly like Yushu, the name of their hometown meaning “Standing like Trees”.

    We often hear the phrase: "You've a greater chance of being struck by lightning." It is used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning.
    Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊尔).
    Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
    Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
    So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.
    "If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
    "Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place," Lopes said.
    Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:
    Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
    If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.
    Do not stand under a tree.
    Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
    Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.
    Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.
    小题1:   The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that ______.
    A．there’s a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster
    B．it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters
    C．the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small
    D．it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening
    小题2:The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _______.
    A．18%B．50%　　　　　C．30%　　　　D．73%
    小题3:thunder in             the open air______.
    A．just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles
    B．quickly find a place to go inside
    C．count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightening
    D．don’t have a hair drier in your hand
    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightening in US each year.
    B．There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day.
    C．The death rate of being stuck by lightening is much higher than by other natural disasters.
    D．The National Lightening Safety Week is made to warn the public against the lightening.

    Dogs can be worried and pessimistic just like people, researchers report in a new study in Current Biology. And they aren’t talking about basset hounds (短脚猎狗): those dogs just look as if they expect the worst.
    What the scientists say is that dogs that exhibit anxiety when left home alone by their owners may have bigger problems — they may be in a permanent bad mood.
    This pessimistic outlook may not otherwise be easily apparent in a dog’s other characteristics, like running speed or learning ability, the study reports.
    Dogs are similar to humans in the role that emotional state plays in decision making, said Michael Mendel, a veterinary scientist at the University of Bristol and the study’s lead author. The study’s researchers looked at 24 dogs in shelters in Britain.
    They placed the dogs in isolated settings and observed their reactions — many barked, jumped on furniture and scratched at the door.
    Then they placed bowls in two rooms. One bowl contained food, while another was empty. After training the dogs to understand that bowls can sometimes be empty, and sometimes full, they began to place bowls in ambiguous locations.
    Dogs that quickly raced to the locations were more optimistic, and in search of food. Those that did not were deemed pessimistic.
    The more separation anxiety a dog expressed while in isolation, the more likely the dog was to have a pessimistic reaction, the researchers found.
    The study carries an important message for dog owners, Dr. Mendel said.
    Dogs that express serious anxiety when alone may need treatment, as it could be a sign of unhappiness and instability.
    小题1:This passage can be classified as _________.
    A．an advertisementB．a feature story
    C．a news reportD．a book review
    小题2: In the study, many dogs barked, jumped and scratched because __________.
    A．they couldn’t find the bowl with food in it
    B．they were left alone
    C．they needed to be treated
    D．they wanted to be active and optimistic
    小题3:According to Dr. Mendel, which statement is true?
    A．Like humans, dogs are good at decision making.
    B．Dog owners should train dogs to find food.
    C．Emotional state works sometimes when humans make decision.
    D．Dogs can always find the bowl with food quickly.
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Dogs will be optimistic as long as they are left alone.
    B．Dogs must be in a permanent bad mood when their owners left.
    C．Dogs that express anxiety don’t need treatment.
    D．Dogs may easily show their pessimistic outlook in learning ability.

    Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.
    The flood followed heavy rains, which filled the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.
